Hello everyone. My name is Daniel, I am 49 and I live on the central WA coast.. I have a 2024 4 Runner due to be delivered next week. I’m a complete Novice and looking to get started and learn. I’ve done a lot of backpacking and think this could be a new adventure and way to get away and learn new skills.

Hi there Gary.

Welcome to the OB community from us all in France.

Nice looking rig you have there, don't hesitate to ask for advice.

Good morning guys. I’m Ryan I’m currently in the Matthew’s, NC area originally from WV (prime off-roading haven) I drive a 13 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I have a little done to this rig but I’m building it back up I haven’t been in the mtn’s in a couple years due to having a baby, moving etc.

I previously had a fully decked out 99 f150 on 37s locked front and rear mild built 4.7 6in lift, winch, bed sleeper etc.. now I’m starting from the ground up with my Jeep and taking things a lot more slower and thought out this time.

If you are in the Matthew’s, NC area hit me up I’m trying to meet some folks around here and plan a trip soon.

Nice meeting yall!
Hi Ryan,

Welcome to Overland Bound!

Greetings from currently Georgia (the country),

A very belated introduction. My name is Tat Ko and this is my 75th year alive and will be starting my 76th year after Christmas.

I was able to see a lot of places around the globe during my time as a Service member. Now I am going to work on seeing what beauty this country awaits my exploration.

Bought a 1996 Toyota T100 6 years ago and was working to outfit it for travel but health concern set me back. Now that the miracle of modern medicine and the magic hands of a heart surgeon the diseased parts were excised and now I can continue my journey.

Still have a lot of prep work, my 1st favorite hobby is to work with my hands in building my vehicle for the next journey. Lucy, the red extended cab 1996 Toyota T100 just had 18" of truck bed chopped off and renamed Luci, short for Lucifer TV show. I also added a more conservative dark green 1996 T100 with manual transmission for longer trips. Green, also an extended cab pickup, has camper shell and can be taken out for short trip. My goal is to outfit both with heavier axles and strengthened frame for the lot less traveled roads.

I am not an in-crowd person but have lots of pictures on my projects to post in the near future. Recently also joined Face Book Bay Area Overland Group and likely be more active in 2025.

Hello,

Tony here. I am a 39 year old male from Northern California.

I bought my bronco 4-5 years ago and I have been really slacking on the project. The focus of my project is to go camping with my family away from the high traveled areas.

I came across this forum when I was looking for inspiration on my build. I cam across a 95 bronco painted green with a black top. Exactly what I am making mine to look like.
Greetings Tony, welcome to Overland Bound!

New Guy,
A little about me.... Raised in So. Cal among the 25 mil people and a lot of cars. Recently retired and looking for somewhere to go! Found my 2005 LJ in Lexington, Kentucky (in 2015) on a business trip and drove it home. Dropped this stock LJ off at Savvy Off Roady and picked it up 5 months later. Very capable rig that does all I ask it to do. Recently bought a SoCal Tear Drop Off Road Trailer and ready to tackle some adventures. Looking for similar Off Roaders that have room for One more rig. Look forward to seeing where this Forum goes?
Greetings Ron, welcome to Overland Bound!

Hi, my name is WildKatt, I’m new to Overlanding. I sport a 1986 Ford F250 Diesel 4X4, and my reason for overloading is because of my grandfather, we went on a lot of trips together and I want to keep the tradition going with my family and friends.
Greetings WildKatt, welcome to Overland Bound!
